Anker has announced the Capsule 3 projector, which will launch on November 20. The model has a similar design to the Capsule 3 Laser Projector, which launched last year. The company suggests that the new model, alongside the new Mars 3 Air, are the world’s first portable projectors to feature both Google TV and built-in Netflix.
The Capsule 3 uses DLP 0.23-in DMD display technology, with the light source expected to last for up to 30,000 hours, producing up to 200 ANSI lumens brightness. The 1080p projector has a 1.2 throw ratio, with autofocus and automatic keystone correction tools. A 52Wh battery allows you to watch video for up to 2.5 hours or play music for up to 8 hours on a single charge; a full recharge via USB-C takes around three hours. Other features include two integrated 8W speakers, Bluetooth 5.0 connectivity and app-based controls for iOS and Android.
Ports on the device include HDMI, USB-C, USB-A and AUX. Anker bills the Capsule 3 as similar in size to a soda can, measuring 78 x 78 x 160 mm (~3.07 x 3.07 x 6.30-in) and weighing 0.85 kg (~1.87 lbs). The Anker Capsule 3 projector will retail for US$549/£499.99/€499.99 when it launches on November 20.
